Image to vector
A vector image is a set of shapes instead of a grid of pixels, so it stays sharp at any size. This converter traces PNG and JPG files into SVG vectors in your browser. It works best on logos, icons, lettering and drawings.

How to do it
- Pick the sharpest, largest image you have. Flat art traces well, photos do not.
- Drop it above. Use Colour mode for artwork with several colours, or Cricut cut-ready (one colour) for a silhouette.
- Set Colours to the number of flat colours you can see in the image.
- Compare original and vector in the preview. Look at corners, thin lines and small text.
- Download the SVG and open it in Illustrator, Inkscape, Figma, Affinity or Canva.
Size of the source matters
A tiny image gives a rough vector. Start from at least 1000 pixels on the long side if you can.
Photos become posters
A traced photo looks like a flat poster with a few tones. That can be a style, but it is not a copy of the photo.
Clean up in an editor
Delete a stray background shape or merge two pieces in your vector editor. A trace is a good first draft, not always the final file.
Questions
What is the difference between raster and vector?
Raster images are pixels and blur when enlarged. Vector images are shapes and stay sharp at any size.
Which formats can I drop in?
PNG and JPG. Very large images are shrunk to 1600 pixels first to keep the page fast.
Is my image uploaded?
No. The tracing runs in your browser tab, so the image stays on your device.
What does it cost?
Three downloads a day are free. Unlimited is $7.99 a month, or a 20-image pack is $6.99 once.
